Gerard (Jerry) Ferris wrote to me: “Think, Glenn Rodgers mentioned it to me once and I had heard it before in the old NCO Club. (My drunken butt may be in the bushes in one of the old photos by the way.) Anyway, the story goes that Doc Holiday was going past the plane (B-25 above/below) and noticed the tail number. Story goes that he flew on that very plane many years ago and had to jump out of it during some action. The pilot saved the plane but wasn’t much left of it. Also, Doc was supposed to be the second highest decorated NCO in the USAFSS after Korea. The highest decorated was a guy named Clu Culliger who went on to star in some movies. These could be just some old bar stories but there is some truth in all of the legendary drinkers stories from USAFSS.”

2009 – What this area looks like now (looking north from Chadbourne Ave). The new North Gate was moved down the road to the right. Gas station was torn down was on left by brick building (Child Development Center). Legal Office, Officer’s Club (with pool) would have been on the right side before the white fence (in photo). White fence goes now with China Beach (pool). Then, Oasis Club. (To view the next photo, notice the light pole [almost in center] – now see below photo for a 180-degree view .)
2009 – Light pole is now here on the left. Looking south, small tree is standing where the road would have taken you off base. (The old base gas station would have been behind you on the right.)
2013 – Looking south, you are sitting at the intersection of S Bell Street (turns into Fort McKavitt Road) and Paint Rock Road. The old north Gate would have been straight ahead. See next photograph. Glenmore Elementary School is up the road on the right.
